What Have You Politely Turned Away?

BeeElMarvin

Don't tell my mother...but I gave away all of the goodies she sent me in the mail: :noway:

-reindeer poop (peanuts & marshmellows covered in chocolate)
-homemade peanut butter cups
-pretzels with almond bark
-fudge
-mint chocolate chip cookies

I just couldn't deal with them being in the house...and I LOVE my mom's cooking/baking. So, I knew that I had to get rid of it before I ate it all. I'm not disciplined enough to just "sample". So, I gave it to my husband to bring to his office. I am most proud of that!!! :laugh:

You could have sent it to me

A Vanilla Milkshake from Jack in the box. Well actually I took it home, and gave it to my 4 year old son... I was the best mom that night lol my son kept telling me, I love you mommy and your beauitful mom... lol... Maybe I should take these N...O... foods home with me more often! haha

I work in a deli/bakery so it's year-round that I have the option to munch on extras (which foiled efforts earlier in the journey). I've had to turn down fresh-baked donuts, leftover pies, hot soups, fried dough (actually, I had a bite, but not an entire piece), chocolates, oatmeal/sugar/chocolatechip/m&m cookies, fresh garlic bread...

I stuffed my stocking with a 85% cocoa chocolate bar, as opposed to oodles of sugary candies. I plan a square or two of my favorite chocolate into my eating, which honestly helps keep cravings away!

However....haven't started traveling yet. Christmas Eve is test #1-boyfriends moms place. Christmas day is my parents place. Day after is my grandmas...and they always take us out to eat at this place that serves enough food in one meal to feed me for like two days.

Insulting a host is one thing--but I need to figure a way not to insult my grandma lol.

I don't eat sweets and desserts, so I'll generally don't indulge unless it's a grandmother serving me.

Since I came back home from school, I've turned down what used to be my favorite pizza for salad and a veggie burger, as well as cheesecake (REESES from the cheesecake factory..oh my god..), and carrot cake cookies. But I've given into a lot of candy, cookies, and fudge..soo..what can ya do? I'm not going to let this impact my happiness during this time of year. If I gain a pound or two, so be it, and I know what I need to do to get it off.
